How can we convert waste carbon dioxide to useful things?

The electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) to valuable chemicals is a promising avenue for the storage of intermittent renewable electricity. Methane, the simplest hydrocarbon product in CO2RR and a widely used fuel, is of particular interest, especially in light of the well-established infrastructure for natural gas storage, distribution, and consumption. Methane production from CO2RR under conditions of ambient pressure and temperature represents a carbon-neutral alternative to fossil gas. In this talk, we will present recent progress towards the more practical methane electrosynthesis  from CO2, looking both at the catalyst and at the system.
